The Way We Feel - by Chiara Piroddi (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A heartwarming collection of 5-minute animal stories that help kids aged 4-6 recognize, understand, and manage emotions -- the perfect first step in building emotional intelligence through play and storytelling.

The Way We Feel is a valuable book to help young children recognize, name, and understand their emotions through simple, illustrated stories. The six primary emotions--joy, anger, sadness, fear, disgust, and surprise-- become the narrating voices of four stories each, in which each one features a little protagonist struggling with a new and intense feeling that needs to be learned and managed. From the roars of an angry lion cub to a baby bird's thrilling first flight, each story helps children understand how emotions arise and how to develop emotional intelligence. Written with the support of a child psychologist, this book provides practical insights for both children and adults, making it an essential tool for emotional growth.
